Characteristics and description of the Ural early tomato variety, plant height
For summer residents of Siberia and the Urals, the early Ural tomato is undoubtedly of interest for its unpretentiousness. It will come in handy when the summer is short and the weather during it does not indulge in stability.
Specifications
The variety will delight you with its early maturity. After 90 days, the first tomatoes begin to ripen. Standard bushes, determinant type. In the ground, they grow up to 50-60 cm. The height of the plant in the greenhouse may be slightly higher. The shape of the bush is compact, leafiness is average. The leaves are dark green.
The description indicates that there is no need to pinch the plant. There are few stepson shoots and they do not affect the development of the bush, the speed of fruit formation and their ripening. In this regard, planting maintenance is noticeably reduced.
Fruit
Low bushes by the end of June are strewn with not large, round or rounded-flattened fruits. Beautifully shaped tomatoes, weighing no more than 100 g. In the phase of biological ripeness, they are colored bright red. The pulp is dense, red, juicy.
The fruiting period of tomatoes planted in the ground is long. They ripen evenly from July to August. Small tomatoes can be used not only in salads. They are good in salting and serve as a good raw material for the manufacture of winter canned vegetables.
Benefits of the variety
The main advantage of this variety is its low dependence on weather conditions. Regardless of the weather, there will be tomatoes on the table. It is also important that this variety can be grown not only in soil. The yield of the Ural early in the greenhouse is even higher by several kilograms.
For summer cottages, where little space is left for the garden, the variety is simply irreplaceable. Due to the low growth and compactness of the bushes, tomatoes can be planted in a compacted pattern and at the same time get a decent harvest.
Early maturity is also an important characteristic for a harsh region with short summers. It's not bad when the tomatoes ripen right on the bush. Their taste is much better and there are more useful properties in the pulp.
Breeders have tried for the Ural summer residents. Bushes do not suffer from late blight. This is important for the overall health of your garden. The less fungal infection on the site, the better the harvest of vegetables and it is stored longer.
Growing tomatoes in the Urals
They are preparing for the planting season in the Urals in the fall. Garbage bags are filled with a fertile mixture, which is used in spring to grow seedlings. Composition:
- River sand, washed 1 part.
- Garden or garden land 2 parts.
- Ripe compost (well rotted humus) 2 parts.
The bags with the prepared soil are stored in the cold. This partially disinfects it. Most of the larvae of garden pests die.
March
March is coming - the month when all summer residents of the Urals take out bags of seeds. Bags with soil earlier, already at the beginning of March, need to be brought into heat, thawed, poured with a solution of potassium permanganate. If late blight raged in the garden in the previous season, use a fungicide solution to disinfect the soil.
Sow seeds in the ground between 15-20 March. Sow in boxes, do not deepen more than 1 cm. Cover boxes with polyethylene and keep warm (25-28 ° C) until shoots appear. In the 2-leaf phase, plants dive into separate cups and continue growing at a lower temperature (18-20 ° C).
Transplanting seedlings into soil causes stress in young plants. The stress level is lower if hardening procedures are started a week before the event. If you have a greenhouse or polycarbonate greenhouse, hardening is easier. Take out the boxes with seedlings to the greenhouse. Open it during the day, and cover it with covering material or straw mats at night.
We plant seedlings
Ural early plant in the ground in early June, in a greenhouse - from late April to the end of May. Landings can be made tight. Leave 30 cm between the holes. Stakes are generally not needed, but if the bushes begin to fall over from the abundance of fruits, you can put a low peg and tie the stem to it in several places.
Water the bushes according to the weather in the open field and once every 5 days in the greenhouse. The bushes are compact and do not require large amounts of water. In the very heat, 0.5-1 bucket for 1 root is enough. Do not forget to feed the low tomato bushes with complex fertilizer 2-3 times per season. Choose those that have a mark for tomatoes.
In August, the lower leaves can be gradually removed, this will facilitate the further formation of fruits for the bushes and prolong their fruiting. Timely collection of fruits that have reached milk ripeness also prolongs fruiting. Another plus from timely collection is the size-aligned fruits.
